Grad transfer, not a portal transfer I believe.

Caleb W.

Hope it does or at least gets the portal modified.

Portal windows for entering.

Sign must stay one year with that school.

Maybe can not go to another conference school.  etc.

I sure hope we get Mathis out of TCU.  That guy is a QB Hunter and there aren’t a lot of guys that have that skill set.  The defensive game greatly changes when you can get to the QB with your front 4.  Opens up so much in the backend.  I want guys that get to the QB and is pissed off when they get there.  Once that happens, we’ll win……because Sark is going to have an offense.

I've said for the past few years and continue to believe that college football in 5-10 years will look completely different. Super conferences will rule the landscape, players will get better pay (even with NIL in place) and the NCAA as we've known it will get kicked to the curb. I also think that letters of intent will become binding contracts that will lock a player to that school for the length of said contract and players will be unable to leave a school until the contract expires  or unless two schools can agreed to a trade. You might also see no-trade contracts in place. Essentially Power 5 football will be the NFL 2.0. I hope I'm wrong, a lot of signs are pointing that way. Maybe 64ish teams in 4 super conferences. Each conference with 2 divisions. Winners of each division get auto qualifiers into the postseason along with 4 at-large teams for a 12-team playoff. You might even see a player draft instead of recruiting. Something to ponder until next week.

Unfortunately, I believe you are close to correct.

P5, and FBS football, is already the NFL's minor leagues and has been for decades. What percentage of UT's football players would qualify academically if they didn't play ball? I wish it were more collegiate, but those days are gone forever. Just win, baby!

NFL has gotta love FBS universities footing the bill for their future players' development.

Some FBS universities are making out quite well in this role.

Can Caleb please, please go to Wisconsin and not USC?  While I like that Riley screwed over OU, I would really like to see him coach a team with no clear cut QB for at least 1 year.

True story.

I just get a little put off by those who say D1 universities are "the plantation" and they're exploiting these athletes. Hardly, when you consider - what - only 2% of college footballers play in the NFL? Many college students would consider free tuition, room & board, books, clothing, meals, and tutoring is a pretty damn good deal at UT. Plus under-the-table monies from jock sniffing alumni. Now we've got bidding wars, thanks to NIL. Unsavory
